To think my children would be better raised by me

[kidscomefirstendof]

AIBU to think my children will be better off being raised by me, without a load of boyfriends, stepdads, and so on?

I feel it will be more stable for them to have one adult than someone who they don't even know living in their space?

No I don't think children need both parents.

My friends mum was a lot like you. She died lonely and miserable and my friend shags everything she sees because doesn't know how to form relationships. It's really sad.
Having a shitty step mum isn't an excuse for being a twat.

Well there you go, everyone who is single is destined to die lonely and miserable because it's just not possible to have a happy life with friends and family without A Penis :)

Are you deliberately reading things into posts that aren't there op?

Well you've already got the miserable part perfected.

Not deliberately, no, so please do explain to me how else to interpret that post?

You don't know me and I'm really not miserable but nor am I offended, impressions can be misleading.

If you're so happy and justified in your amazing life choices, then why the fuck have you started this thread? To wind people up? To look down on others? Sounds pretty miserable to me OP!

I am happy because I'm a happy person. I have lovely friends and these are meaningful relationships and I guess I really genuinely don't have the need for a partner and yet some people don't understand this.

why the fuck have you started this thread

Because as soon as a relationship ends the assumption seems to be that the adults will be seeking a new one and I'm not sure that's in the best interests of the children.

Believe me I thought things had come to an uneasy but civil end last night I don't intend to harp on about it all day but I will respond if people ask me questions.

There you go, we know different people

What's it got to do with you? Mind your own business. Your opinion is very much in the minority which you figured out a few pages ago so just accept that and get off your high horse.

Op you are misreading because no one has said you or anyone else must have a relationship or a 'penis in the house'.
They've just said that everyone is different and some people do want relationships. That having a relationship doesn't make you any less of a good parent or mean you aren't properly caring for your kids.
You are the one that's made a judgement and are now accusing others of doing it.

Plenty of people have spoken about single women having no life and being lonely and bitter in old age.

Because it's a troll

I really dispute I have been aggressive or nasty to you Call. We have not agreed but that's the nature of the forum and TBH take it or leave it, however I certainly have not been aggressive in the way I have spoken to you. I wish you well.

I agree with you OP. So many people seemed to obsess about their single parent friends needing to pair up as if being single is a problem to be solved. And I think many, many children get a very raw deal from the primary adults in their life. it's the iGeneration and it ain't pretty.

For the seventh or eighth time having a viewpoint which does not correlate with the majority is not the same as being a troll. It's a bit arrogant to assume that you're so correct anyone who disagrees must be a troll but hey, take care.

A real troll would have upped the thread after going to sleep to continue the row wouldn't they?

Thank you Jerry I really appreciate you understanding my viewpoint.
